Note. Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
Scheme 211
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Check ECT SENSOR 2 in the DATA LIST with the HDS. Is about 180°C (356°F) or more, or 0.08 V or less indicated? YES -Go to step 3. NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at ECT sensor 2 and the PCM.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the ECT sensor 2 2P connector.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Check ECT SENSOR 2 in the DATA LIST with the HDS. Is about 180°C (356°F) or more, or 0.08 V or less indicated? YES -Go to step 7. NO -Go to step 11 .
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
- Disconnect PCM connector C (44P).
- Check for continuity between ECT sensor 2 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES -Repair short in the wire between ECT sensor 2 and the PCM (C36), then go to step 13 . NO -Go to step 18 .
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Replace ECT sensor 2 (see «ECT SENSOR 1 REPLACEMENT»(ref-298125-S01962212042008091500000) ).
- Reconnect all connectors.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Reset the PCM with the HDS.
- Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see «PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(ref-243313-S13405059332006082300000) ).
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P2184 indicated? YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at ECT sensor 2 and the PCM, then go to step 1 . NO -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
- Reconnect all connectors.
- Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software (see «UPDATING THE PCM»(ref-243311-S19790429062006082300000) ), or substitute a known-good PCM (see «HOW TO SUBSTITUTE THE PCM»(ref-243311-S24543735662006082300000) ).
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P2184 indicated? YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at ECT sensor 2 and the PCM, then go to step 1 . If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM (see «HOW TO SUBSTITUTE THE PCM»(ref-243311-S24543735662006082300000) ), then recheck. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1 . NO -If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM (see «PCM REPLACEMENT»(ref-298125-S08727755362008091500000) ). If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
